CooperΒ already had a GoFundMe set up to help raise money for his trip, but the rapper gave it an extra boost when he shared it on his Instagram account.

”I DONATED the 1st $1,000 & I’m up early & in a good supportive mood this morning," the Game posted.

β€œIf 49,000 people donated $1 we’d reach his goal in 1 hour,” he continued. β€œThis trip will have costs of things he will need to complete it, fuel, food equipment etc….. so PLEASE CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO & DONATE ANYTHING you can to help him accomplish his dream.”

The Game has previously used his social media reach with the hashtag #TheRobinHoodProject to donate money to homeless people, as well as to raise money for families in need. Looks like the Game is truly the black Robin Hood.
